At the beginning, my preferences didn't include the HUD, however my wife suggested me to get the TECH package (Includes NAV/HUD) (3100$ here in US), so finally I choose one at the inventory that had almost exact spec's that I wanted in addition to theTechnology package. I didn't took too much attention on it, until I did a second test drive with this feature, and I realized how wonderful is. I strongly recommend it (if you can afford it). Also as "Kaitain" indicates, I can still see the HUD with my RayBan's polarized sunglasses, however even with the brightness adjusted to a higher contrast, still the HUD info will be in the light side, so I guess that it will be a little tricky to get used to it. I just got a second pair of sunglasses (non polarized) and I keep them in the car, just for driving.
